Warning tmi but my wee has gone orange??!!

[babynumberthree]

Am currently 29weeks and have been feeling rotten over the weekend with symptoms of sinusitus, terrible cough, no appetite and unable to get out of bed for most of it leaving poor dh to look after the kids - something which I've never done before. Have taken time off work today, something I rarely do, even though I feel a little better. But to my shock and horror my wee has gone a strange orangy/brown colour since this morning. Now trying to drink lots of water to see if this helps. No other symptoms indication infection. Any ideas?

Not enough water probably.

you need to up your fluid (water) intake

Are you taking any vitamins/supplements? They can do this.

Call your midwife, hopefully she will be able to explain or reassure you.

First thought is dehydration -- drink lots of fluids and see if that improves things; if not, call your midwife/GP.

Mine did this when I started with my sinus infection last week, I think it's just due to not drinking enough so I've been drinking squash from pint glasses to try and get enough fluids into me. I'm 33 weeks.

Thanks everyone. Seems to have improved a bit with lots of water, so will keep that up. Have no appetite so may have underestimated how much water I drunk over the weekend. Will see midwife/gp if no better.

This really is TMI but if your poo goes light then it could be a sign of a liver problem and you should definitely contact your midwife ASAP.

have you eaten any asparagus recently?

Went to my GP yesterday, but having drunk loads of water throughout the day, all was normal. At least no sign of nasty stuff. Strangely the orange wee is back this morning so I'm assuming the combination of being ill and pregnant and probably dehydrated for a few days are making me more prone to dehydration overnight, the likes of which I've never seen before. I've not really managed to eat, and def not asparagus and haven't been taking any vitamins. At least feeling semi-human today, so fingers crossed all will be back to normal soon. Thanks for all the suggestions!
